Why don't I feel pregnant?

Question

I am 11 weeks pregnant today. I have had no morning sickness at all. I was just really tired up until a couple weeks ago. I have gained no weight. I'm not eating any more than I did before either. I had one ultrasound at 7 weeks & I heard the heartbeat, but it's just weird cuz I really don't feel any different other than the extreme tiredness in the beginning. Anybody else feel this way?

Answer 1

Consider yourself lucky! I'm 7 weeks with my fourth and I don't feel anything at all, but it hasn't always been like this. With my previous three daughters I was sooooo sick and felt awful! I'm wondering if this one is going to be this easy throughout the whole pregnancy or if it's waiting, but honey seriously consider yourself part of the elite! Congrats on your baby!!

Answer 2

You are very normal and one of the lucky people who didn't experience morning sickness. Often times women even lose weight in the first 2 or 3 months, so there's no oddity there either. You will be beginning your 2 trimester and with it comes the beginning of the "pouch" and some weight gain. You will probably be feeling very good in the second trimester, so don't worry that you aren't feeling "bad". In your fifth month, you will begin to feel "lightening" which is the movement of the baby. Funny little twitches and in the beginning, not sure if your tummy growled or what. That is a fun time. You will start to feel the life that is within you.
So as long as you are going to your doc, listening to his/ her instructions, and being a good mom-to-be, just consider yourself lucky for feeling relatively normal at this stage.

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOU

You may be suffering with more frequent headaches as a result of the change in your hormone levels. You can help prevent headaches before they start by eating regularly, drinking plenty of fluids, getting adequate sleep and keeping stress levels low. Ask your care provider if you can treat headaches with Tylenol (acetaminophen), a pain medication that is considered safe for pregnant women. If you experience frequent headaches, if the headache is the by-product of a fever, or if it causes visual disturbances or puffiness in the hands and face, call your practitioner immediately.

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOUR BABY

Your baby-to-be is about 50 millimeters crown to rump and weighs about eight grams (about a quarter of an ounce). The irises are now forming. The liver, intestines, brain and lungs are beginning to function on their own. The primitive "tail" is now gone. The intestines are beginning to migrate into the abdominal cavity and the external genitalia are present but difficult to distinguish. Now that most of the major organ work is done, your baby adds such details as hair, fingernails and toenails. While your baby's head is nearly as large as the rest of her body, head growth begins to slow during this period.
